"If - Then" Return These Records

I have a query based off of two tables. There are date fields in each of the
tables (class date and enroll date). The query includes each of the date
fields. I tried to do a criteria that would only display those records where
the enroll date was greater than the class date. I couldn't get anything to
return even though some dates in the enroll date fields were greater than
those in the class dates. Is there something I need to do because they are
time/date fields? Could I build an expression in another field in the query
that said "IF enroll date class date THEN display the text "need to enroll"?

Post your query. A basic greater than or less than should work fine here...

SELECT *
FROM TableName
WHERE [class date] [enroll date]

These ARE actual DateTime fields right? Not text fields containing strings that
look like dates?
